Finance Council

Finance Council

The St. Philomena Finance Council consists of parish members appointed by the Pastor. Each Parish Finance Council is required by Church law to properly manage the funds and the budget of the parish. Council members offer their time and talent to our parish community. The Finance Council helps provide stability as we maintain and grow our parish ministries and parochial school. Monthly meetings allow its members to advise our pastor on our current financial climate as well as to pro-actively plan for the future.
